CWG - A sorry mess in the making..!!


Corruption and politics are quite synonymous to each other. And for Indian politics,it is one of the important feature. Corruption in India is a consequence of the nexus between the bureaucracy,politics and criminals. Today the number of politicians with clean image can be counted on fingers. At one time bribe was paid for getting wrong things done but now bribe is paid for getting right things done at right time.

The much-awaited and prestigious Delhi common wealth games slips on corruption scandals. just 70 days away from the inauguration ceremony of CWG and piles of works are pending and budget keeps on expanding. unless a miracle happens,the infrastructure planned for the CWG will not be completed on schedule. And the reason behind this crippled arrangeme
nt is corruption. The newspapers found that treadmills which have been rented at Rs. 9.75 lakh per piece for 45 days,could be purchased for less than half price. It's been reported that liquid soap have been procured at Rs 3397 per unit when they cost just Rs 460 in the market.

The government has diverted funds meant for SC/ST to CWG- related projects. This corruption,if unchecked,will lead to loss of public trust in state institutions and officials.

Still,just like a typical Indian I am enough optimist to believe that in true Indian fashion we will manage to ride over all obstacles at the last minute and the games will not be the fiasco.
But,this CWG instead of advertising our country and improving the sport sector has added stench to the Indian sports federation in terms of corruption.
LETS HOPE FOR THE BEST..
